I was rummaging through a freinds abandoned farm house and came across the old gun cabinet (glass display unit) with an old brocock air rifle in it. It was dark so not able to see much.Phone and torch in car.

This gun appeared to have a bolt action.

Is it worth restoring (40 plus yrs since house in use)

I intend to return next week for photos etc.

banning the tool never changes the intention, if we go down that road then we need to ban pretty much everything 😁 also as an engineer I don't see an easy form of conversion powder munitions develop quite high pressures could you explain? I understand if you would not want to as its an open forum.

The centre fire tac handguns took the pressure with minimal effort. The cylinders were .38 and the barrels. 22. The intention of the naughty boys buying them was pretty clear and literally they were the gun of choice for many gang members. For every real pistol I'd say 10 of these were recovered converted. As an engineer I'm sure you can figure the rest out.
